This the longest most detailed tour EVER of the awesome Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, NV USA founded by Tim Arnold. In this video we will review and literally check out EVERY SINGLE pinball machine! From the early EM and Woodrail pins by Gottlieb, Bally, Williams, and Chicago Coin to the 90s era DMD Bally and Williams machines all the way up to the new Stern and Jersey Jack Pinball machines. This place is amazing and has nearly every pin ever made under one roof! Another John's Arcade on the Road!

I spent a whole day there. It was worth the trip to Las Vegas on its own. I spent hours on the Circus pinball it was so fun to play. Fantastic place to visit
I've been there too back in 2011 ;-) awesome place!!
Glad to finally see the PHoF in operation in (almost) person. Back before Tim Arnold had the place, he was raising money to get somewhere to put the PHoF. Every six months or so he'd do a fundraiser night, and let the public come through (for a minimum donation) to play the heck out of those games on Free Play. All of those machines in an airplane hangar. He has some really classic machines, some of which I didn't see in the video so he might have those in storage. It was incredible.
I'm a really reserved person, so I didn't really go out of my way to thank Tim for letting us sample his collection, but even seeing him in passing you could tell that this is his passion. The man loves pinball, and it shows. If it weren't for people like him there are a lot of people who wouldn't know quite how to repair/maintain machines thanks to those This Old Pinball videos.
Thanks for the tour, man. Good to see it all in action.
I love the Pinball Hall of Fame, I happened to be out in Vegas the week they opened and was hooked. I've been back to Vegas twice since and always plan to spend a least a whole day there. Thanks for making this video and sharing this awesome spot with the rest of the world.
We visited in early October on a whim, just to get away from what we had experienced at Mandalay Bay a couple of days prior, and absolutely loved this place. We did a pretty good job feeding the bill changer.
We are already wanting to visit Las Vegas again and will sure stop by and play more games. We wish the Pinball Hall of Fame much success.
Thanks for the virtual tour to the museum. Wish it was even more longer. ☺️ Subbed ya man.
I just got back from the Pinball Hall Of Fame in Las Vegas. The place is awesome and worth the trip to Vegas alone. Nice video.
Great video. I watched it all! Thanks to the PHOF too for letting you film. Going there on my next visit to LV. Two machines I remember as a kid were not there...Flip Flop and Target Alpha, but a great assortment.
I enjoyed that very much. I go to Vegas every year and I hope to visit the pinball museum next year. Thanks.
Great video tour! Love it. Have to go there someday.
Thanks for the tour! I've wanted to go there for a while now, and want to go even more now, but at least now I know that it rocks for sure!
that was an epic video from start to end love the pinball history lesson John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech
That was fun! Thanks for giving me an idea what to look for when I come out Vega next time!
I had a great time at the Pinball Hall Of Fame in Las Vegas too. It really brought back some great memories as well. Take care now.
Awesome! I played a ton of the older machines. Heading to LV in march and will tour this place thanks!!!!
John, Tim said the LED's are used as it halves the electric bill. I imagine if you can drop 100 watts from 400 machines, that adds up to several hundred dollars of electric saved
Ah, that makes complete sense. I'm sure the LEDs also help with maintenance too.
We visited the Pinball Hall of Fame in May / 2017 and we really liked it because it brings the nostalgia of the arcades of the 80s. On my return to Vegas in Oct / 2019 I put Pinball back on the script.
I exchanged 20 dollars in 25c coins (the machines only accept 25c coins and the games vary from 0.50 to 2 dollars). We took some pictures to remember the visit and also publicize the Hall of Fame for free on our travel blog to the United States.
When I was going to play at the Transformers Pinball, an older employee (maybe even the owner) came all arrogant and aggressive saying he couldn't shoot or take pictures. He said with total rudeness that the place had three rules (none of them were written at the entrance, next to the machine for exchanging banknotes for coins): one of them is that it was forbidden to take photos because the machines were his property and the photos could not go for internet. He threatened us saying that if we took more pictures or stayed in the establishment without playing, he would call the police. I also said that parking is not "free" and only for customers. A player who was at our side was also startled by such ignorance from the attendant.
If you didn't want us to take pictures, you could politely ask that there would be no problem and also install notices on the door and on the machines prohibiting photos.
With the arrogance lost client, we will not recommend Pinball to anyone and report the terrible treatment on our blog.
With this treatment to customers it is explained why in 2 and a half years the place is the same and until today it has not been to the strip.
A third of the machines stopped and in the middle of Colombo's holiday had almost no one in the place.
We didn't want to argue, we got in the car and went to play at Circus Circus' Midway that the only rule was to have fun.
Super great vid....I never got into these things but you and a lot of other bloggers are fun ta watch...God bless...
John, THANK YOU! for making this great and awesome video. I love pinball and WOW! What a great collection of EM and SS pinballs. I would love to go there one day.
This pinball hall of fame is AMAZING. I went to a pinball museum in neuwied a place in germany where they had alot of pinball machines but THIS , this is just sick. Thanks for the amazing video footage. Keep the good work up.
Thanks John. I watched the whole thing! I totally knew you were gonna sell that Black Knight. So funny!
Love love the video! Thanks for doing that! Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Great video! I was at the Pinball HOF for the first time this past January. Amazing experience.
great vid watched it ALL ! THANKS FOR THE SHARE !
Great video tour, I'm heading to Vegas tomorrow to check it out. Their pin list stated that the Taxi pin is there but didn't see it in your video. Cheers !!
Been sick for the past 3-4 weeks, I'm behind watching your videos. This was a good one, love seeing the classic pinballs, which use chimes to make dinging sounds.
In case you missed it... I released my Sunday video on Saturday. Hopefully you saw it. :) If not, here it is!:
EPIC Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame Tour Review - PHOF Museum - Pinball Circus Review
I hope I can go there some day!
***** you should! It's a cool ass place!
I am thinking I might take my boys to see the Monster Jam World Finals in Vegas in a year or so, and check it out while I am there.
I need to check this place out.
I was just here in Dec. last year.
Great video I loved every minute of it that circus machine was awesome I wish they would have made more of those I saw so many machines I wouldn't mind having but I wasn't bored for one second great vid
Looks well worth a visit, never seen so many pin balls in one place! Great video
Well, Mark of CGR does regular visits to some place on the east coast that has an incredible selection. But, this place is probably taking either the gold or silver medal on rarest collection available to the public. And, who knows what else they might have had, had they even more space to work with. As I already typed up, I am almost positive that this place has changed out about 80 percent of their game titles since I last visited. Now, that really is saying a lot.
awesome video john i watched all of it
Great Video, John!
Awesome video John.
Awesome. I just got a new life goal; to visit this place of epicness which is half a world away for me. I'd much rather go to the Pinball Hall of Fame than anything else in Vegas. Very nice video.
Great videos, keep up the great work !
Nice tour! That's a lot of pinballs to take in... :D
I could play that Line Drive for hours……I love those games. I bet I could get one cheap. They are so Fun!!!!
awsome vid man,you should do more and play some and film great stuff.
The new location for Pinball Hall of Fame is incredible!! It is Pinball heaven!
42:48 Night Rider was the first pinball machine I ever played as a kid back in the mid 70's. I totally got addicted after that.
This is a great video. I was there last year.
Awesome video John, thank you.
You're welcome! THANKS!
Nice video, you guys are lucky in the USA with things like this and Fun Spot.
Didn't see Fish Tails or White Water though, 2 great pins I played a lot back around 1992. I heard Adams Family when John was in the row before it!
Oh wow, I remember playing the bulldozer game when I was a kid
In Point Pleasant NJ at Jenkinson arcade on the boardwalk. That brought back memories. So cool.
Yes and I also had a spiderman helicopter like that also. My favorite toy.
Thank you so much for sharing this in-depth tour with us. Here's hoping someday I get to experience this marvelous attraction in person. Please keep us up to date if you ever plan on returning in the future. :-)
Great video. My father in law owns 21+ pinballs and has an epic gameroom level in his home here in Minnesota. Wizard of Oz pinball, Star Trek, AC/DC, and more!
Nice video! I was in the PBHOF shortly after it first opened in an old strip mall on Tropicana... a lot less games than it has now, but I saw few in there I played. Nice to see the Wizard, Capt. Fantastic and KISS machines working - they were "in progress" when I was there.One machine that they DID have then (which would be about... oh, 10 years ago?) was one called PUNK... i remember it because it had an extra wide body (think it was a Gottlieb, but not sure...).
Yes, I stuck out the whole video. Awesome! I would LOVE to play Pinball Circus as well! Great job as always!
Pinball Circus was really neat. Such a cool idea!
I love the look of the older pinball machines, they're all white and bright colors.
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos! I'm going to the PHOF in December. I was impressed by the pinball and your commentary. I know I'm going to have fun there. However, i think I was more impressed by your basement arcade! ALL those games were from the time I used to frequent arecades, when Westworld was a popular arcade chain. I wish those wete at the PHOF. Can I come to your basement and spend my money there too? lol Well, keep up the good work.
+KARIN LANE thanks for watching! Have fun in Vegas. :)
Great video!
I played that multi leval pinball last year its fun. Im blown away we both played it thats pretty kool. It being so rare its getting thanking who els has played it. Also when i was a kid there was a brokent abracadabra pinball in the back yard. I love youer videos and passion. God bless you. Jerry.
I have actually never seen one before.
@@anthonytheappguy4426 i was at the pinball museum in vegas multibal times. Its real neat to me john n i have both ben there and playrd the same game. i have a video of me at the heart atach gril. And many vgas pics on fb find me throug my group on fb called jerrys facebook. Yes my group is called jerrys facebook
you can find my face book profile from there.
I really want to go there. I love pinball so much.
Awesome video John ! So many of these classic pinball has super white led, they could at least use warm white led..
Gottlieb was so painfully behind the times in the mid to latter 70's with their EM's, archaic scoring reels, repetitive designs, and System 1's. No wonder they were left behind while Williams and Bally buried them into the ground. Never was crazy about Gottlieb. Great video. Thanks for showing
Great video. Took a break 40 min in then came back and finished the rest lol. I'd love to go there some day. Looks like a lot of fun. :D
Nice video! That Pinball Circus machine is so cool, it's a shame it never went into production. I wish we had a public pinball arcade in my area. I've gotten such an interest in it in the last few years, especially with the video tables on Pinball Arcade (just makes me want to play the real thing even more!) and watching the best players at tournaments on Papa.tv (excited for the circuit final this Thursday!) A little sad to see the Black Knight gone but I'm sure you'll find something you like better. :)
very much enjoyed the tour, thanks for doing that for us! shame to see you part company with black knight, for me that was the coolest and most desirable item in your collection, with atari star wars coming in a close second! and sacrificing it to fund journey, jeez... :)
Sorry! I knew I was gonna get flack for selling it. It was the right thing to do as I am preparing for the Quantum build and the Journey restore. Both are pricey. I regret selling it a little, I have to admit. I can always get one again. :)
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech
You won't find a BK as nice as that without paying way too much! you should have kept it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Real cool! Amazing place, going to have to make a vacation trip there some time. In the 1990s, I played more and definitely spent more $$ on Pinball Machines than the Arcade Games.
My uncle has sure shot.
Man I played that my whole life growing up.
The sounds of em blew my mind then
Great tour John even if am not a big pinball guy I still like the vids
oh and that turtles cab was so awesome.
dude that is completly crazy
Really liked the video, was long but fast, I saw only one of my 2 favorites pinball, Super Mario was there, but no TMNT pinball? that pinball with the turtle's toys and the giant spinning pizza was really fun
Many of those 60’s and 70’s games are very challenging. They might not have all the extras the modern machines have, but most of the great pinball players broke their cherries on these machines
watched the whole freaking thing... surprised so many were in working order. thats very unusual for that place...
I thought the games were in great shape overall! I liked it!
Really enjoyed this, wish there was one in Australia.
Hey man great video! Thanks!! Wish Cirqus Voltaire was working its in my top 5.
Great Video man thank for the travel.The Table 33:12 the text on the Knife says "My honor is called loyalty" Meine Ehre heisst Treue ;) greets from Germany
Great place. Whoever invented Pinballs is a genius. Loved the video.
I was staying with family in the area a couple years ago so I got to check that place out... particularly freaking epic, indeed!
Personally I'm not a huge pinball fan, but I did check out a couple of the tables like the TRON Legacy one which was pretty cool... I did enjoy their selection of classic arcade games though.
The Dragon's Lair Silver Anniversary was interesting too, as I recall it had DL1, DL2: Timewarp and Space Ace all on one cab... I didn't fare so well trying to play DL, though.
But if you're a classic gamer in the area and gambling isn't really your thing, it's worth checking out!!! Fantastic video as always
Yes. And, it even has a guide mode that tells you when to move the joystick where or when to press the button. Alas, that game is so demanding that the reflexes needed were beyond me.
Vegas does have other arcades about, too. But, those can't even come close to this local's gem...located in the middle of 'nowhere'. (Well...it looks more like Any Common Street, Los Angeles, more then nowhere. But, this is Vegas. Where's all the flash at around this place?)
If I was in your shoes, John, I'd sell 2 or 3 of my video games, enough to buy a Virtual Pinball table, like the one your buddy had in the video you made about his. Dude, some of the 3D possibilities with pinball now with massive 3D screens is really outstanding.If I had the cash, I'd buy a ready-made one like yesterday, but I guess it depends how much you're into pinball. Man, what I'd do to have 300+ pinball tables in a single machine.....just awesome!
wonder if they have a Gottlieb Atlantis machine
never mind found it! 19:51 so many memories playing that one
happy thanksgiving mr.john
+branden32210 thanks
Great video man i just suscribed :-)
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing. :)
When I went to Vegas for my 21st, I dragged my family here. They all fought me not to go there but they had more fun than I did. I had gotten sick and was mostly in the bathroom. I really want to go back!
Oh man, what a place! I'd fly out to Las Vagas and just spend the whole week in here! I'd probably lose more money than if I spent that time in a casino too :D
The manufacture of that imtpacto pinball machine is Recreativos Franco an it was released in 1975.
Heading to Vegas for Evo 2014 (fighting game tournament). I'll be spending most of my free time at this place!
As you already said , Yes quit a long one but very interesting thanks ! its amazing the variety.
The best place to go in Vegas for pinball fans. Also visit the modded pins at the rollercoaster entrance in New York, New York casino.
"I'm like in the middle of nowhere..."
That so explains this awesome place all so very well. Made it my Number One place to visit on every Vegas trip...and I wasn't always successful in finding it.
Unbelievably, I think that they've rotated about 80% to 90% of their games since I last visited! And, they really had some rare titles in there. In fact, you missed one super rare pin. I know a guy was playing it as you whipped the camera by. But, (according to that Pinball simulator for the Sony system) I saw that they had a 'Going Nuts'. The simulator says that there's only 10 of those prototype machines ever made. Of course, seeing you play that Circus game where only two were made was a real treat. Then again, who knows just how many machines were on this video might have had that 1 of ___ back story.
Oh! Only 10 Going Nuts were made! CRAP! :) Next time! There were a lot of games I just never heard of. It's hard when there are soooo many!
Yes I'm still here!
Aprils drawling of leo from the first movie is behind The Overlord's desk.
No HIGH SPEED ,or F14 TOMCAT,,,,really. Surprised me!! Two of my top favorite. Along with Black Knight ofcoarse. Who would not want a BLACK KNIGHT? A lot of pinball machines,,wow!! Great video ,Jon,,, I enjoyed it! P.S. been looking for Journey arcade parts for you, here in WI. If i find anything i'll let you know....
Awesome vid John thanks so much for posting..some day I'll make it over!
And John what's your number one pin you would like to own ....New/Old?
I think I'd like an Attack From Mars or Medieval Madness. Monster Bash is sweet too!
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Thought you would of wanted one of the new pins like Wizard of Oz but Attack from mars looks really good tho
I miss the old arcade games I spent lot's of quarters back in the day
is there an Mr. Do also? Had funny times in my youth with it...:-)
I kept seeing what looked like hooks on the front of some machines. From what I remember l, they had a more "feminine" theme. Were they purse hangers or did the ambien just kick in sooner than I thought.. great video as always john "edutainment" at it's you-tubey best.
Tim Arnold is actually selling his pinball business atm, if im not mistaken, also, the controversy around that text on the knife might be beacuse it says "Meine Ehre heisst treue" which was the motto of the SS and also used on SS parade knives during the war.
Excellent video - Yay Black Knight has left the building. Just 3 more to go - Free yourself....
that basketball game was rebuilt on the TV show American Restoration
If you ever get a chance, you should visit Pinballz in Austin, TX. It is an amazing place.
John do you have any tips on what to do with a PCB that I have no way to even tell what game is on it? I have an Atari Cocktail table but the model and serial numbers find nothing online. There is also a model number on the board which also finds me nothing. I have no monitor glow, had sound once and the coin up lights up. Checked power supply and it is right on cue but I have no idea how to check the Isolation transformer. Any help would be appreciated, love your channel
Maybe join the John's Arcade forum and post some pictures of the PCB. We can help you there! For the ISO transformer you need to check voltages to see if it's outputting correctly.
Thank you I will do that
They don't have a Back to the Future pinball there? Great Scott! Forget it. That's the one I remember playing a lot (was a big fan of the trilogy, still am of course) and would love to play that one again. Even though its a Data East and not the best it was fun. It looks like a fun place just seems to be missing some cool machines is all. They definitely have to get a Back to the Future there if they want to have a complete collection. Sheesh.
That Space Walk definitely is badass. To bad only 215 were produced because I'd love to have one.
I know it's been awhile lol, but curious to what he said? Did he not want to let you film inside? Some places are so sketch about that!
Central Park pinball machine is pretty cool it's the one with the monkey and the bell in the background and every time you hit a 100 points the monkey rings the bell
They have Goin' Nuts??!!!! Wow that's an ultra rare pin. Only 10 produced. I wonder how many are left?
I heard the "Cyclone" pinball but don't think you covered it. I might have missed it
Actually, a lot of people have told me that the Flintstone's pinball is really fun to play.
There's a Rollercoaster Tycoon pinball machine? Do you know how many years I spent playing RCT?
